Chapter 169: Moving Back
Where can Fu Qiufang sleep peacefully? Yesterday, Wu Zhong came twice, the first time said that the old man was lifted, Fu Qiufang's heart settled, his hands folded and recited the Buddha's name, full of joy; The second time I came over, I said that the lord was knighted, and he was still a second-class man!
Fu Qiufang couldn't be happy. After asking Wu Zhong repeatedly and confirming that he had not said anything wrong, Fu Qiufang became dazed.
This way is a desperate and helpless move, but fortunately, he has a gentle temperament and treats himself very well, but he loves to toss people between the sheets...... Fu Qiufang was already satisfied, but unexpectedly, the old man turned his head and was knighted!
Fu Qiufang felt as if she was about to starve to death, so she gave up her dough and begged for a bowl of rice, but she didn't expect to use her chopsticks to smash down a big pie with a thickness of one foot in the sky, and smashed it straight to the point of dizziness, I don't know why.
Nian Xia came to congratulate first, and the subordinates who followed the mansion came to congratulate. Fu Qiufang made a wooden face, thinking that Li Weijian was not there, but it was not good to reward him at this time, because it only made people add meals this day; When Jia Yun from the East Cross Courtyard heard this, he came to congratulate him, and then said that the plaque of this new work was only afraid that it would be changed again.
At that time, people called a certain house, and most of them were honorific titles. Dashun regulations, the court paid to build the mansion, just like the strict mansion and the Rongguo mansion.
The ordinary people are home, and some family assets have built a few houses, which are called houses; The house built by the third rank official or above is called the first.
Further up, the mansion built by the prince of the county and the prince of the country is called the palace, and only the house of the prince can be called the palace.
This mansion was originally the mansion of General Feng'en, the shape has not changed much, the plaque was originally inscribed 'Li House', and now Li Weijian has sealed the title of second-class man, and the official is the same as the second grade, and this plaque will naturally be changed from Li Mansion to Li Di.
Fu Qiufang thought for a while, thinking that the plaque could not be made in a day, so she nodded and agreed. Jia Yunxing rushed to take down the plaque and didn't mention it, Fu Qiufang was in a trance all day, and he couldn't fall asleep at night, always afraid that he would wake up again after falling asleep, and he would find that everything before was a good dream.
Just woke up like this, slept and woke up again, until dawn she slept for two hours, and when she woke up, she quietly talked to the maid Nianxia, and when it was confirmed that Li Weijian was indeed knighted, Fu Qiufang breathed a sigh of relief.
Joy filled her heart, she originally knew that Li Weijian was a capable person, and she tossed such a family business at a young age, but she didn't expect that this could be too big, and she turned her head and was knighted!
Although Fu Qiufang has never slept peacefully, she is in good spirits on happy occasions, and the whole person is in good spirits, the only fly in the ointment is that she has not seen Li Weijian yet.
After breakfast, when she was arranging her work, Qian Xue came over with a smile and reported: "Auntie, the master is here!" ”
"The master is here?" Fu Qiufang endured her joy, bowed her head slightly, and immediately led the maid to the Yimen.
When he arrived at the Yi Gate, he saw Li Weijian striding over the meteor.
Fu Qiufang called 'master', and leaned over to worship. But before she could kneel, Li Weijian took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward and grabbed her, and waved her hand at a few maids: "No need, it's just a blessing, how old am I?" I can't afford to eat the big guys kneeling together. ”
Fu Qiufang said: "It's the concubine who is not thoughtful." ”
"I'm not patient with red tape, and I can save these things in the future."
Fu Qiufang secretly wrote it down, was pulled by Li Weijian, and walked towards the inner house. Li Weijian was going to go to Fu Qiufang's wing, but Fu Qiufang said: "Master, I have recently hired a lot of maids and subordinates, and I am always going to come to see my lord." Moreover, the old man is happy, and it is not good to say nothing. ”
Li Weijian said: "Put a month to reward money? ”
Fu Qiufang suddenly said angrily: "It's not good to be so generous!" "Fu Qiufang has been used to living a budget-conscious life in the boudoir, and now although she is rich, she has never been extravagant.
Li Weijian said happily: "Qiu Fang said how to give the reward? ”
Fu Qiufang pondered: "Qian Xue is in charge of things, just set a tael of silver; For the rest, the personal maid is 500 yuan, and the maid and mother-in-law have a string of money, and it is good to be happy. ”
"Okay, then it's up to you."
When the two entered the main room, Fu Qiufang had already prepared, and instructed Nian Xia to bring a silver coin box, which was full of silver barley and string money.
Li Weijian had not moved in at this time, and there were only about 30 maids and servants in this mansion. Qian Xue was instructed to lead the maids to come to visit in batches, but the reward was more than a dozen taels of silver, and the hired maids were overjoyed one by one.
Li Weijian secretly wondered in his heart, whether it was to hire and save trouble, looking at the servants born in Rongguo Mansion, one by one, they had rich and noble eyes, and if the reward was less, he might not know how to chew his tongue behind his back. Calculate that throwing away twenty taels today will allow the whole mansion to show their face and do the same thing, but yesterday Li Weijian threw away a few hundred taels!
The maids said auspicious words such as 'Princes of Wandai' and retired happily.
Li Weijian and Fu Qiufang started talking. Fu Qiufang first talked about the plaque, and then said a few small things, and then stared at Li Weijian with burning eyes, without blinking a pair of eyebrows, and said for a long time: "The master is really knighted?" ”
"If it's fake, why don't you believe it one day later?"
Fu Qiufang said angrily: "The concubine was in a trance this day, like falling into a dream, for fear of waking up and finding it empty." ”
Li Weijian smiled, took out a brocade box from his cuffs and handed it to the table in front of Fu Qiufang.
"What is this?"
"Open it and see, won't you?"
Fu Qiufang opened the brocade box, and when she saw the jacquard brocade, she was shocked: "Holy decree? ”
Seeing Li Weijian smiling and bowing his head, Fu Qiufang's heart suddenly pounded, and he trembled, and when he looked at it carefully, he especially looked at the 'Treasure of Destiny' inscribed below, and immediately ironed his heart. Hurriedly put the holy decree back into the brocade box, and said: "This holy decree is not easy to place randomly, when the old man moves back, I invited the tablet of the grandfather and grandmother, and then offered the holy decree, so that the grandfather and grandmother can be happy." ”
"Well, you can settle it."
Fu Qiufang's heart was full of joy, and he couldn't help but ask, "When will the master move back?" ”
On the way, I casually asked the fortune teller Taoist priest and said that twenty-four is a good day. Then it won't be troublesome, just set at twenty-four. ”
Fu Qiufang said angrily: "Master is not good to be so casual. Now that the lord is in his body, he is no longer more decent than before, and he has to go in and out. In my opinion, it's better to find a temple to watch a good life. ”
Li Weijian said: "Don't forget that the master has been in Maoshan for two years, I don't know if it's useful?" After a pause, he said: "Besides, I'm just a second-class man with miscellaneous products without a title, who will make some pomp and circumstance?" It is more expensive to fatten monks and Taoists, so it is better to change it to food to help the people. ”
Fu Qiufang said that Li Weijian couldn't admit it, so he turned to talk about the side. When it was close to noon, Fu Qiufang quietly flipped through the yellow calendar, and saw that the twenty-fourth was indeed a good day, so she agreed.
The two had not seen each other for several days, and had lunch together, during which they were affectionate. It's just that Fu Qiufang is restrained, and she can't bear to let Li Weijian achieve good things, which makes Li Weijian troubled.
After lunch, Li Weijian walked towards the east courtyard. Passing through the moon gate, you will see two long rows of greenhouses. The glass sloping top faces the sun, and the smoke from the chimney curls on the side.
Since September, Li Weijian sent Jia Yun to hire vegetable farmers. There are a lot of small vegetable gardens in Beijing, and in September, due to the weather, the fruits and vegetables in the garden should be stopped. When I heard that someone had hired a vegetable farmer, many people immediately flocked to it.
Jia Yun worked carefully, listened to everyone's comments and reputation in detail, and selected the best of the best, so she chose three vegetable farmers.
Li Weijian looked around the conservatory, and when he caught a glimpse of his figure, Jia Yun hurriedly came out and followed him. This east cross courtyard is not large, and there is a gap between the two rows of greenhouses, because the land in the middle is only five points of land.
Jia Yun said: "I hired three vegetable farmers to take care of two meals, and the monthly case is 800 yuan." The three of them worked in shifts, lifted the cover during the day, let the vegetable seedlings shine on the sun, and then spread the cover at night. There are also servants who look at the sky and specialize in burning coal stoves, which have been getting cold recently, and they have to burn them twice in the morning and evening. ”
Li Weijian bowed his head and said, "The vegetable seedlings have all grown, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Jia Yun suddenly scratched his head and said: "The fourth uncle is really powerful, those three vegetable farmers are not at fault for the sake of the monthly money, saying that they will not plant vegetables in the autumn, saying that this move is against the peace of heaven." As a result, vegetable seedlings really appeared in the greenhouse in the past two days, and the vegetable farmers were amazed for several days, saying that the fourth uncle must have learned the spell from a master. ”
"Hahaha-" Li Weijian laughed for a while, and then said: "Spells are spells, let those vegetable farmers do their best to take care of them, and sprinkling water and fertilizing are indispensable." ”
Jia Yun commanded: "Fourth uncle, don't worry, nephew is watching, Baozhun they don't dare to slack off." ”
Li Weijian went into the greenhouse and took a turn, and saw that there was indeed green emerging on the four ditches. The three vegetable farmers cowered and didn't dare to come forward to talk. Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, is this really thinking of himself as a spell?
At that moment, he didn't break it, only called a vegetable farmer to ask a few words, and then led Jia Yun out of the greenhouse. After walking a few steps, Li Weijian thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to take care of this side of the carriage, just let your aunt take care of it when you go back." ”
Jia Yun remained silent and answered 'yes'.
Li Weijian continued: "It is estimated that after a while, I will enter the Inner Mansion as an official, and then you will first be by my side to help out, and when you get the opportunity, I will give you a job in the Inner Mansion to run a book." ”
This book office is between the officials, although it has no grade, but it is rich in oil and water. Especially the bookstore in the inner government, which always collects dozens or hundreds of taels of silver in bits and pieces every year.
Because Jia Yun was overjoyed, she said respectfully: "Nephew, thank you for the support of the fourth uncle." ”
Li Weijian waved his hand and said, "They are all their own relatives, and it would be a matter of saying this." I am supporting you because of your ability. Go home and rest in the next few days, and I will call you again in a little while. ”
Jia Yun was extremely obedient, saluted respectfully, and immediately left.
Li Weijian pondered for a while, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion. The two-day banquet is set, and he will always start with him or not.
Li Weijian changed his clothes and led the maid to Rongqing Hall, but it happened that Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zhen were not here today, and only Jia Lian was there during the banquet.
Mother Jia felt a lot of regrets, the so-called distant fragrance and near smell, probably like this. Because he deliberately ordered Jia Lian, he was ordered to take care of it on the 24th, so as not to have a business trip in the middle.
Jia Lian responded, Li Weijian also received the kindness, and the banquet dispersed.
When leaving the table, he caught a glimpse of the second sister Yingchun's resentful eyes, Li Weijian only smiled and bowed slightly, and then led the maid away.
It's wrong to say anything at this time, rather than this, it's better not to say anything, and wait for Uncle Li Shouzhong's letterhead to come and then comfort and welcome the spring.
In the turn of the day, the small courtyard in the northeast was busy up and down. With the experience of living in Xiangshan Villa last time, the four maids have gained a lot of strength, and the objects are divided into categories, leaving only Ming'er's changed clothes and the bed cover at night.
Living in Rongguo Mansion for more than half a year, although because of Li Weijian's career, the daring to send people under the fence was cut off by life, but in the end it was in someone else's mansion, and he was always a little uncomfortable.
Because it was this day and night, Mo said that it was Xiuying, Hongyu and Qingwen, and even Xiangling said a lot of things.
After a while, he said that the wing room was reserved for his aunt, and a few of them could live in the ear room; After a while, he said that there was a maple tree in the side garden, and the red leaves were scattered at this time, and there must be a sense of meaning when he saw it; After a while, he said that his home has changed to three meals a day, and the time of living must also be changed.
Chirping, until the last shift, a few maids retreated sleepily. Li Weijian and Hongyu washed up and got into the quilt, Hongyu gossiped for a while, but never fell asleep.
Li Weijian knew in his heart that if there was no Fu Qiufang, Hongyu would be at ease. But with Fu Qiufang, especially with the status of an aunt, how to arrange the housekeeper in the house in the future, Hongyu is self-interested. She was afraid that she would lose her errand, so that her appearance could not compare to Xiangling, and she had no errand, so her status naturally plummeted.
Li Weijian was amused, chatting with him with or without a pair, until the beginning of the second watch, Hongyu couldn't help being sleepy, so he shrank in his arms and fell asleep.
The next day was twenty-four.
Early in the morning, a few maids got up on their own, waited for Li Weijian to wash up first, and came early. When the hour was approaching, everyone had breakfast, and Jia Lian took the servants to the door.
After living in sojourn for more than half a year, although Li Weijian bought a lot of things, he only walked a few times, and he will fill a carriage.
Then Li Weijian went to say goodbye to the elders of Rongguo Mansion, and then led a few maids to ride to his house with Jia Lian.
On the way, Li Weijian talked to Jia Lian for a while, and then said with a smile: "This time, the second brother Lao Lian has helped, and he didn't take advantage of it when he moved over." In the coming day, the younger brother will definitely come to the door to deliver the sticker and invite the second brother Lian to come to the house to burn the bottom of the pot. ”
Jia Lian smiled and responded. At this time, the car shop was close to Tai'an Hutong, but it was about to stop. Wu Haiping reported from the wheel: "Master, there are people in this alley who are moving out." ”
